Drilling forms an important part of renovation projects. To drill holes with precision you need to be very particular about the type of drill machine you use. Here are some tips that you need to follow while selecting impact drills: -

Check the Usability of the Impact Drill Handle

While using drilling machines, people often suffer from palm blisters. In order to avoid them, you should check the handle of the impact driver handle and find out whether it can be held comfortably or not. Precedence should be given to models whose handle is covered with a rubber layer which is skin friendly.

Go for Impact Drills with a Reverse Witch

A majority of the cordless power tools that you would come across in the market are equipped with a forward/ reverse switch which enables technicians reverse the driver’s rotation. One of the major plus points of this feature is that it is ideal for avoiding problems such as jamming of drill and screw removal. In case the impact driver that you come across an impact drill driver which doesn’t possess a reverse switch, then there are high chances that it is not actually an impact driver. Therefore, always make it a point to verify this feature.

Check the Efficiency of the Drill’s Motor

If you prefer cordless impact drills, then you should go for the ones that come with a brushless motor which offers a high level of efficiency. These motors are not only highly powerful but also have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance. A drill which is equipped with a brushless motor is also lightweight and operate quietly, something impact drills are not known to do. Another factor which you can use to decide the quality of an impact drill is its power output. A unit-watts-out(UWO)number is used for measuring the output as a blend of speed and torque.

Verify the Voltage and Speed of the Drill

One that you should always need to remember is that the higher the voltage, the greater will the power of the drill. But when selecting a drill, you will need to lay emphasis on the amount of usable output the drill produces such as twisting power or torque. Torque is normally measured in Nm. Most of the drills which you will come across are of 18V though models with 20V batteries are also available.

Speed of drills is measured in rotations per minute(rpm). Drills that offer variable speed settings will offer you with a high level of control. Sometimes, it is essential vary the speed’s drill on the basis of the hole size or type of accessory with which the drill is being used.
